Duke unveiled its 2023-24 team Wednesday in a 109-64 exhibition win against UNC Pembroke, and the Blue Devils showed lots of potential.
It’s a very different team from last year. Jon Scheyer opted to start Kyle Filipowski, Mark Mitchell, Jeremy Roach and Tyrese Proctor, all back from last season, and the fifth starter was freshman Jared McCain.
First, hats off to Pembroke. Duke clearly had much more talent, but the Braves kept battling and played with a lot of confidence. They were outmanned, but clearly, this is a well coached team.
Duke just had more, and they are well coached too.
